My tilt van column is an 8-32 thread. I drilled and tapped a piece of 3/8-16x12" all-thread, found a long 8-32 screw and threaded it into the end of the all-thread, then cut the head off and filed off the burrs. I slid a weight over the all-thread and put a couple of nuts on the other end...voila! A custom-made slide hammer.
